The Week in Kids, #12

This week...

Catherine hung out on the front porch with Daddy.

Also this week...

Samuel took to the number "five."  As in, "Sam?  Would you like a cookie?"  "FIVE cookies!"  It is always "five."  I think that is the highest empirical number in his current universe.  It does tend to the impractical, as in, "Sam?  Would you like an apple?"  "FIVE apples!"  Or the impossible, as in, "Sam?  Aunt Heather is coming to visit to day."  "FIVE Heathers!"  At least he made Aunt Heather feel special.

Also this week....

Samuel and Catherine played at taking a nap on the couch.

As you can see,

no sleep was had.

Also this week...

Jonah expressed concern for his eternal soul.  When I was handing out snacks, or whatever, he made a point of asking me to serve him last, so that "I can be first in heaven."  Now there are many people, adults even, who make a big production out of their sacrifices-for-eternity's-sake, which is really just sinful pride.  That is not the case with Jonah.  At least not yet.  He genuinely wants to be put last in some things because he wants to have his rewards realized in heaven.  Not all things, of course.  He is only five and, like most of us, a selfish creature through and through.  Mentioning it here, is my (sinful?) pride showing.

Also this week...

Jonah had fun helping Grandpa Scott with the dishes.

See you next week!
